Romkey Park Groundbreaking
The community is invited to join the City of Moorhead for the Groundbreaking of Reimagine Romkey – Pool Replacement and Park Renovations Project on Thursday, August 15 from 1:00 – 3:00 pm.
Romkey Park was established in 1956 with the main feature, the Moorhead Municipal Pool opening its doors in 1958. The pool has provided generations of Moorhead families with great summertime memories but has lasted long past it’s expected lifetime.
Reimagine Romkey aims to enhance outdoor recreational offerings within the neighborhood. By replacing underutilized amenities, expanding recreational opportunities, and reconstructing the Moorhead Municipal Pool, the project seeks to revitalize the park and promote community engagement in outdoor activities.
The City prioritized the community's input regarding desired park amenities, alongside pool reconstruction. Following thorough feedback analysis, key amenities emerged. The finalized park concept reflects these preferences and features:
- Pool with diving boards and water slide
- Zero-Entry Wading Pool
- Splashpad outside the pool fencing, accessible free of charge and extending the season
- Community Room
- Skatepark
- Traditional Playground
- Natural Playground
- Food Forest and Sustainable Landscaping
- Basketball Courts
- Sledding Hill
- Pickleball Courts
- Soccer Field
- Picnic Shelter
- New Trails and Sidewalks
The public will gather at Romkey Park, 900 19th St. S Moorhead MN. A social with refreshments will begin at 1:00 pm, with a short program to begin at 1:30 pm. Groundbreaking will happen immediately after. There will be free admission to the pool and activities for children and families.
